The ISOLDE facility at CERN has been one of the premier ISOL facilities worldwide since it started operating in 1967. More than 1000 isotopes have been produced at ISOLDE, following the bombardment of various primary targets with a pulsed proton beam of energy 1.4 GeV and an average intensity of 2 μA. A tungsten solid neutron converter has been used for ten years to produce neutron...

Recent testing of two advanced high-power neutron spallation sources MEGAPIE and
EURISOL have yielded a wealth of experimental data and operational experience that is of relevance to efforts currently under-way to develop a safe, reliable neutron source. The neutron spallation source must be maintenance-free and inherently safe to operate. The radio-toxic inventory in the liquid metal must at...

The last decade has seen the commissioning and operation of two spallation neutron source facilities, SNS and J-SNS, where the mercury neutron converter targets receive pulsed proton beams in the MW range. The European Spallation Source planning first neutrons for 2019 has been exploring a range of targets and is converging towards the choice of a baseline target and a back-up solution. This...

The SPES project at Laboratori di Legnaro of INFN (Italy) is concentrating on the production of neutron-rich radioactive nuclei by the Uranium fission at a rate of 10^13 fission/s . The emphasis to neutron-rich isotopes is justified by the fact that this vast territory has been little explored, at exceptions of some decay and in-beam spectroscopy following fission. The Rare Ion Beam (RIB) will...

IPNO is actively pursuing R&D studies to improve the properties of fission targets both in the framework of future radioactive beam facilities and for the operation of the ALTO facility. Within the Spiral2 project, IPNO is studying several synthesis modes to improve both the density and the release of UCx targets. New actinide targets are studied through the Actilab project. The status of...

UCx targets have long been used in ISOL-type facilities to deliver a large range of different radioisotopes. Such targets are also central in the operation of next generation facilities, such as SPES, HIE-ISOLDE, SPIRAL2, and ultimately EURISOL. Within the FP7-ENSAR Joint Research Activity ActILab a large collaboration, including members from CERN, GANIL, INFN, IPNO and PSI, is working on...

In the framework of European projects for future facilities and for the operation of ALTO facility, IPNO achieves various studies and developments on ion sources.
For Spiral2 project, IPNO develops a plasma ion source called IRENA. For the ALTO facility, in collaboration with CERN, IPNO starts up the operation of a laser ion source.
For EURISOL project, IPNO has submitted a NuPNET proposal:...

During the recent years the JYFL ion source group has actively performed time resolved photon emission experiments in order to study the breakdown process of ECR heated plasma. The first experiments were carried out by using Ge-detectors of the Accelerator Laboratory and later by using CdTe-detectors for lower energies (about 2 keV – 300 keV). In order to cover the entire energy range of...

The aim of the EXCYT (EXotics with CYclotron and Tandem) facility is the production and acceleration of radioactive ion beams. A primary beam provided by the K-800 Superconducting Cyclotron produces the required nuclear species in a target-ion source complex, which can be used for low energy experiments (up to 300 keV) and higher energy, by accelerating them by means of the 15 MV Tandem. The...

IGISOL-facility in the Accelerator Laboratory relies on the ion guide technique developed early 80's in the University of Jyväskylä. Since then the ion guide technique has constantly been developed and improved. Our recent studies have concentrated on the laser ionization both in the gas cell but also in the gas jet evacuating the gas volume.
The extracted ion beam can be manipulated in a...

IPN Orsay is strongly involved in several R&D programs and projects based on SCRF cavities, which are the framework for many developments on superconducting cavity technology.
For the Spiral-2 project, IPNO is in charge of the high energy part of the Linac, composed of 14 quarter-wave SC cavities resonators. All series cavities have been tested and the first series cryomodule is currently...

Physics principle and production technologies have been developed at KINR for the new type detectors of the charged particles as well as synchrotron radiation – Metal Foil Detectors (MFD). Micro-strip MFDs – Micro-strip Metal Detectors (MMD) 0.5 – 1.0 micro-meter thick were used for the beam profile monitoring of the synchrotron radiation at HASYLAB (DESY, Hamburg) as well as for the charged...

A silicon detector monitor has been developed and tested in the frame of the beam diagnostics development program for the HIE-ISOLDE superconducting upgrade of the REX-ISOLDE heavy-ion linac at CERN. The monitor is intended for beam energy and timing measurements as well as for phase scanning of the superconducting cavities. Tests have been performed with a stable ion beam, composed of carbon,...
